The $38.3 billion they are going to spend for interment camps could fund the annual budget of NASA, the EPA, and all clean energy R&D at the Department of Energy—combined.

There is nothing I believe more strongly than: heaven is real and it is the city of Chicago Illinois

the feeling of going into a jewelry store and asking for shrek was unrivaled

What’s the power analysis of why coal has so much power and influence? Even in a corrupt oligarchy, this doesn’t make sense. Is it just oil and gas throwing weight behind coal as part of a group defense?

Choo-choo-choose Miguel, this Saturday at our Valentine’s Day canvass! We’ll be sharing the love of our slate of progressive champions, fighting to protect our communities from ICE and unaffordability. 3248 W Montrose on Saturday, 02/14, at 11AM to knock doors as a love letter to IL 40th District.

IL Sunshine shows that they have transferred funds to James ($500), Paul Kendrick ($500, reportedly returned it), Sam Nugent, RayLo’s Democratic Party committee, and Nick Sposato since the DHS raid on 9/30 illinoissunshine.org/committees/3...

I did a shift canvassing last week and I’d say 75%+ of homes had smart camera doorbells installed. But one home had a frame with wires sticking out where it looked like they had pulled theirs out.

Last October.

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

Look, all I'm saying is that if you just spent the last six years being frustrated with Durbin and you think there's a chance he's about to be replaced with a guy who thanks ICE for their service and takes AIPAC and crypto money, you should treat it like a very serious emergency

Commenting on energy injustice is now the floor for any halftime act.

We are in the end stages of a multi-decade campaign to consolidate power through courts, media, religion, and fear, and it is working. If the people running the Democratic Party cannot grasp that this is an emergency—not a branding exercise—they will lose.

Sorry for crossposting from FB but this was important. Dems 45, the Democratic Party org in the 45th Ward, speaks out against the anti-Miguel mailers the IL Dems put out. www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=1...

Big win guys lol body cams and retraining will get this sorted

As you see the reports out of Texas SD-9, keep in mind: This was the cash discrepancy. Money speaks -- but it's not as loud as it used to be.

dudes rock

literally Trump is not the President. his TV calls the shots

Yall outside of MN need to know that observers are STILL out protecting their neighbors. Right now. They know the news and they’re still out there.

Invite them in. Give them Pringles. Let them sleep in your bed.

Thank you Rep. Ramirez. And bigger thanks to Chicago's Left—esp. @33rdwardworking.bsky.social, @ctulocal1.bsky.social, and other UnitedWorkingFamilies.org orgs—for producing and co-governing with Rep. Ramirez. Let us all call our US reps, telling them to cosponsor Ramirez's "Melt ICE Act": reps.fyi

I'm still kind of surprised at how little reporting has been done on the connection between conservative YouTubers targeting Minneapolis and ICE's arrival. The Nick Shirley video started a lot of this! We're basically living through YouTube fascism and nobody wants to talk about big tech's role!

In the ongoing Scope 2 carbon accounting debate, perhaps you’ve found yourself asking the question: “What does the research say?” This meta-study takes a look at the results of impact accounting vs. hourly matching: watttime.org/wp-content/u...

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

We need to elect strong leaders who will actually stand up and fight for the public. We can't keep electing the same corporate Democrats and expect anything to change.

Have you seen his “Proven Progressive” signs? While State Rep. Jaime Andrade Jr. claims to be a “Proven Progressive,” he's raked in more than $1.2M in contributions from the same interests he claims to oppose: tax-dodging billionaires, corporations, and lobbyists. Get the details: Jaimesmoney.com

33rd Ward Working Families is proud to endorse these 5 candidates for the Democratic Party Primaries on March 17! - Miguel Alvelo Rivera for IL 40th House District - Delia Ramirez - Karina Villa - Graciela Guzmán - Jessica Vasquez for Cook County’s 8th District Read: bit.ly/33wf2026Slate

ICE is younger than the Taco Bell chalupa and about the same age as the Crunchwrap supreme and contributes far less to society than either!

This whole list is good but this is the key: they are coming to your town too, the time to organize is now not once they touch down.

It’s funny every single time

REGIME CHANGE 🇺🇸

In 1995, Sandra Bullock was the first person ever to buy movie theater tickets online, in promotion for her new film THE NET.

My resolution for the New Year is to attack and dethrone God.

We have to do it. We have to kill time once and for all. MAY THIS YEAR BE THE LAST

I don't know what to say about this garbage vote to criminalize gender affirming care btw. Been trying to find the words. I hear so many friends in sadness and fear today but of what use is "I hear you"? Not much I fear. To live through this moment sucks ass (negative). We must find a way through

As the wheels keep coming off the MAGA project there will be a political vacuum, don't let libs fill it out of convenience through the prebuilt rhythms of elections and politics, Dems have been a crucial part of MAGA and will make the changes permanent.

The next 12 months are going to be marked by extreme economic crisis and political instability. We need to put forward visions of a better world and make them as material and reproducible as possible, because we are about to enter an period of massive social rearrangement and experimentation

26 Aldermen threaten to shut down Chicago's government to protect their Corporate funders. They'd rather increase taxes on your beer and liquor, and push you to gamble away more of your hard-earned money on video slots. But there is still time to take action! Learn More: bit.ly/ChicagoCough...

There is a lot of great reporting on this completely ridiculous rival budget proposal, but this line cracked me up.

This year, #GirlIGuess is awarding a whopping NINE #GoldenShrug endorsements. Yes, there are that many races that we just cannot afford to sleep on. Shrug Nation, this is the slate! Show up, show out, VOTE!

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him. I don’t know how else to say it…

And I thought I couldn’t love The Dispossessed any more

Social media feeds are full of people sharing their Spotify Wrapped, but Spotify is full of ICE recruitment ads. Cancel your subscription until Spotify stops helping ICE terrorize our communities. app.sosha.ai/s/T7ngbtyS

We have to apply pressure. Give Johnson a choice between being a hero or someone who has failed us, rather than simply casting him as a villain and accepting defeat. If you live in Chicago, share this piece with everyone you know and tell them to reach out to their alderman and the mayor's office.

An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

I truly cannot understand how this shit is still happening

Feeling grateful and want to share the love? Everything is hard but don't worry: @aroguemonster.bsky.social & I made a fun easy quiz to help you learn more about how to find great orgs doing great work that tap into your interests and motivations as a donor. It's also FUN.
